- Oracles in the ancient Greek world were the way in which the people of Greece could communicate with their gods. Gods couldn’t be communed with directly, so an oracle, who was often a woman, was the person that the gods spoke through, acting as the medium between the divine realm and the world of mortals. Consulting with an oracle was the way in which people could learn the will of the gods for their lives, what the future held, and these oracles were set up at important religious sites across Greece, with the most important being the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi and the Oracle of Zeus at Dodona.
The Oracle of Delphi was the home to the most popular oracle in the Greek world, the Pythia or priestess of Apollo, the god of prophecy, music, light, and healing. The temple complex at Delphi, built in honour of Apollo, dates back over two thousand seven hundred years and was known all throughout the Mediterranean world. The temple was built based on a mythological story of Apollo. The god killed the monster Python after it was sent by Hera to terrorise Leda, a lover of Hera’s husband Zeus and the mother of Apollo and Artemis. After slaying Python at Delphi, a temple was built in his honour, and that is where his oracle was situated.

Do you believe in horoscopes and divining the future?
No.
Yes
Recently, a mysterious Mycenaean sanctuary (oracle?) dedicated to Gaia was discovered, i.e. the goddess Earth.
It is probable that knowledge from the Mycenaean Thalassocracy was known to the priests of Delphi 3-4 centuries later,
giving information about the colonization of the 7th-8th century BC.
It's fascinating, isn't it? Thanks for watching!
A very lovely and informative video. Thank you so very much for uploading. Great content as always.
Thanks for the kind words, Travis! We're so glad that you're enjoying our videos. 🙂
Thanks!!
You're so welcome. 🙂
Well presented and said Kelly! The oracles of Apollo at Delphis and Ammon-Zeus at Siwa was the greatest of all the oracles around Asia and Europe. Many people from any country, nation, tribe visited them or consulted them before any big step they wanted to make especially kings and queens.
Thanks! 🙂
This is very interesting video I love ancient history I love learning about modern times 👍
Thanks for the kind words. 🙂

I believe I am one. I have a lot of gifts. I've always wondered why i never liked sage it always put me in a sleepalyris state .. then i notice im more vivid and detail with my visions when i smoke or around smoke. And can see spirits more clearly. I knew when all the wars was going to happen. I all the sudden became obsessed with nostodamous because he saw natural disasters as well like me . I've even seen all the wars before it happened... sorry for the missed spelled words my phone keyboard is messed up
Yes! I am an astrologer utilizing the ancient practices so I in fact do believe in horoscopes and divining the future. This was great, as always. Thank you✨✨
You're so welcome. 🙂
@UraniaUniverse You and your Western astrology are as far removed from Greek oracle as you could possibly be.
I have a small question, did other Greek gods have oracles, and if so how their divination methods varied from the one at delphi?
There were several Gods that had oracles. Various divination methods were in use
Indeed they did. Their methods differed depending on the god and how they were worshipped. If you do a Google search, lots of information should pop up. 🙂
May I suggest using : present days Greek territory . The Past ' s names have been different.
Hi! Our articles usually include both present and past names, but in our videos, it's just easier to use the historical name. 🙂
What do you mean?Because i live near in Dodona oracle.
❤️
🙂

I had a dream that I was looking down into a church and a small group was studying Exodus. When I woke up, I called there, and there were in fact studying exodus. That's God/YHWH
Hail Iao Sabaoth!
Only here for Kelly 🤤
Well, we hope you're learning things about history as well. 😉
How could anyone would have believed and live like this is astonishing.
Completely different times. Thanks for watching!
